Women in Securities Finance (WISF) has appointed Erika Fleming to lead its Chicago chapter.
Fleming will join current Chicago chapter lead, Lori Paris, who is currently head of securities finance client management at Northern Trust and has been leading the chapter since 2019.
Fleming holds extensive experience in securities finance and leadership. Currently, she is a business architect at Schwab, where she is responsible for coordinating the various in-house and vendor applications used by the securities lending department.
Prior to Schawb, she served at FIS, Citadel and Wachovia capital markets.
Fleming’s appointment coincides with the Chicago division’s transition into a virtual chapter, a development that aims to adapt to membership demands and provide opportunities for members who reside in areas outside of Chicago.
Commenting on the appointment, Paris says: “I am looking forward to expanding the existing chapter with Erika and hosting some exciting virtual events open to all members.”
